Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave

You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved

You pray for daylight to save you for a while

In Gangland -- where jail birds die

Face at the window leers into your own

But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones

How long can you hide? How long till they come?

A rat in a trap but you've got to survive
14
Once you were glad to be free for a while

The air tasted good and the world was your friend
16
Then came the day when the hard times began
17
Now your alone but alive for how long?

A knife at your throat another body on the pile

A contract to keep and it's service with a smile
